Actor Mason Gooding is starring in the horror/slasher film ‘Scream VI,’ and he recently shared about his role as Chad Meeks-Martin in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
According to the 26-year-old actor, he was told that his character would die in the 2022 film ‘Scream.’ It ended up not happening though, hence, him starring in the sixth movie.
“I was kind of bait-and-switched. The script that I got the first time around said I died. I don’t think you necessarily go into a Scream movie expecting to live every time. I just kind of accepted my fate. It wasn’t until we began filming Scream 5 that I was told that I was going to survive and make it to the next one,” Gooding shared.
And while we’re already on the topic of this hottie, let’s get to know more about him, shall we?
